Abstract: An attempt has been made to assess the efficiency of carrot waste and beetroot waste added diets on variation in biochemical constituents and total carotenoids in skin and muscle tissue of Goldfish C.auratus. For this isonitrous (37% protein) diets (CWD and BWD) supplemented with carrot waste 5% and beetroot waste 5% were prepared individually and offered to the candidate fish in 5% body weight at ad libitum for a period of 40 days. Simultaneously a control diet (CD) with 37% protein but devoid of neither carrot waste nor beetroot waste also prepared and used for experimentation. The results indicated that in the skin and muscle tissue of candidate fish, the protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents were found to varied between diets and also during various time intervals of experimental period. In carrot waste supplemented diet fed fishes, the skin and muscle protein content varied from 4.32±0.38 to 6.49±0.16 mg/100mg wet tissue and from 7.05±0.49 to 9.30±0.01mg/100mg wet tissue respectively. Likewise,in beetroot waste fed fishes, the skin and muscle protein content varied from 4.32±0.38 to 6.66±0.09mg/100mg wet tissue and from 7.05±0.49 to 9.47±0.30mg/100mg wet tissue respectively, But in control diet fed fishes, the skin and muscle protein content recorded was less when compared to experimental diets (CWD and BWD) fed groups and here the values registered were 4.32±0.38 to 6.16±0.05mg/100mg wet tissues and 7.05±0.49 to 8.55±0.27mg/100mg wet tissues. More or less a similar trend was noticed for the skin and muscle carbohydrate and lipid contents of experimental fishes, which received CWD and BWD diets. The dietary addition of carrot waste and beetroot waste has also influenced the total carotenoid content in the skin and muscle tissues of C.auratus.
